The Story of Glitchman. He will always be with me.
The Glitch[]
I never owned an NES, and I didn't want to buy one, so I just got an emulator on the internet. I got it from a place that no longer exists, and this was before I knew about CoolRoms. After the Website went down, my emulator was deleted, but I still had my roms. All of them were normal except Mega Man 1. It warned me that it should only be used with that specific emulator or else glitches would occur. So I downloaded Jnes and tried all the games I had. All of them worked fine. I tried Mega Man last. It started normally, and I selected Cut Man's stage. I teleported in, but Mega Man, was not Mega Man. His color pattern was changed. He was purple with grey outlines and 2 different shades of
red eyes. I quickly got my camera and snapped a picture. He looked as though he shouldn't have even been in the game.
I thought it was just an error and continued on.
He wasn't there
I got to Cut Man, but he was not there. I took another picture and the screen faded. It went to stage select again.
Cut Man now replaced Iceman, and 2 purple circles replaced where Cut Man should've been. I selected that and was transported to Fire Man's stage. It progressed normally, and I fought Fire Man. I was about to beat him, but the game froze. After taking another picture, I reopened the game. It started again, but Instead of the normal start screen, it showed the glitched Mega Man and said: "Any time you need me, say my name, and I will come. I am Glitchman."
Aftermath[]
2 circles
Press Start
I didn't believe what it said. I knew it was glitching up, so I just switched to Legend of Zelda. I then noticed the battery on my camera died. Oh well. I made it to the 5th dungeon and couldn't beat the boss. I got
frustrated and started yelling. I wanted to calm down so I just randomly said Glitchman. Nothing happened. Thought so. So I continued on, and got more frustrated at the boss. I wanted to calm down again, and this time, decided to type out Glitchman. Suddenly, The glitched Mega Man showed up and beat the boss for me. I was so confused. He then disappeared. I booted up all the games I had for Jnes, and he showed up in all of them. I don't know how, but I am protected
